Cameroon Scammers

I was wondering if anyone knows if there is somewhere we can report these guys to? Can anything be done about all these idiots trying to pull fast ones. I had someone trying to sell me a $140 pied ball python that is 24 months old, 127 grams, 3 feet long and feeding on adult rats. All she would need is my address and some money for shipping. I replied to her telling her to do some research before she pulls a scam or else she ends up looking like an idiot. Anyways, is there anyone we can send these email addresses/phone numbers/addresses to that we can get something done about these people?

Kevin, I'm pretty sure this is already being discussed in a thread on the General Herp forum.

Ignore them

someone needs to send them some counterfit cash or counterfit check so they can get nailed

Well you could do like i have done to them.I play with them for days then i slam them and it REALLY upsets them :8::8::8:.If you tell them you live in thier area and want to pickup the snake they will come up with some other story on why you cant pick it up.Cmon be creative and p them off :D

thank god i read this i am new to the site and had a woman from cameroon offer me unbelievable prices for some ball morphs had asked her a few questions about importing into Scotland she reasured me she had CITES papers and i had no need to do anything other than pay for my selected morphs piebald being one obv for 356 pounds using money gram as paypal and others didnt work in cameroon i have told her i know its a scam and unless she can reasure me in some way that it isnt then im not interested.THERE IS ALWAYS SOME GREEDY GIT WAITING TO EXPLOIT EVERY OPERTUNITY.THANKS AGAIN YOU SAVED ME A FEW POUND AND THE EMBARRESSMENT OF EXPLAINING TO MY OTHER HALF HOW I LOST OUR MONEY

If you have all the emails saved, you can file a case with the Feds. It is a federal offense and international trade is covered by the feds as well. Although, I wouldn't know how to do this. Great help I am here. Hah! I got one of these scambags trying to pull a fast on me too. Had an ad at Kiiji for pieds for $400 each but you have to buy in bulk (at least 10). That would have been a $4,000 take home pay for the idiots. Yeah, I'd love to shut down these suckers too. But, chances are, 500 people are already trying...

Just spread the word or take legal action.

You can list them on various sites including Fauna Classifieds with the BOI.

I always lead them on, sometimes several times a day back and forth for months at a time. I use to have an entertainment website that had a section dedicated to the conversations and their stupidity. I had a lot of free time at my old job so I figured that if they were spending so much time on me they wouldn't have as much time to scam other people. I once took on the persona of Andy Garcia in Ocean's 11, and sent the dude pictures of Andy and Courtney Cox, my wife. Over a 2 month period the scammer sent me official looking bank documents, certificates and even racy pictures of his wife in exchange for pictures of my wife, Courtney Cox and her sister Heather Grahm as Roller Girl. I even had some of them meet me at airports for flights I obviously wasn't on. :gj:

screwin with them is definately fun!! . . .. awhile back we had a scammer try and sell some balls on another forums classified section you should have seen the breeders in their havin some fun with the guy, im sure they made him feel stupid
